when it needs it which is about every 3000 and depending on what needs done gets done.

oil and filters every 4k on all of them, plugs when it needs them

not really a seasonal thing

Mileage based, gets used so seasonally doesn't make much odds.

I'd say before winter is "better" so it has clean oil if you're the sort to leave it stood over winter. Chances of it making any odds... meh...

Probably should had mentioned that I'll be storing it over winter - so this is a "should I leave it, or do it before winter".

If it doesn't make any odds, will do it at the start of summer...

Um...I can't seem to edit the poll? I think we have an answer though - mileage over seasonal. If seasonal, then before it goes into storage.

when appropriate!
Mileage/treatment combined

if you are storing it then i would brim the tank or empty it, do an oil and filter change, take the plug leads off and every week turn the bike over to lube the top end and bores.
